Has anyone seen the trim switch used in the CubCrafters aircraft?

I'm obsessed with it's simplicity and ergonomics. I am not obsessed with the $$ they want for a set.

I can't imagine considering people are paying North of $200K for the Carbon Cubs.

That picture made me smile. I had a flight review in a sport cub a while back. After first engine start and ready to taxi and after several attempts to contact the tower with no response I said to the instructor in the back. "The radio doesn't seem to be working". He replied, "That's because you're trying to transmit with the trim switch".

Now that's funny! :) Speaking of switches...I can't count how many times I've made a perfect call on the wrong radio! We have an ICS box with 5 radio positions and two NAV pigs to monitor... The call, without fail, is great, but on our company internal, and the response is usually..."Great call Chris, now why don't you try that on TWR." Haha..oh the fun we have with radio "issues"! Not just a student pilot issue, so I thought!
